The new Japanese restaurant to be seen in in LA...

Chateau Hanare, Los Angeles

Chateau Hanare is a new Japanese restaurant that has just been opened by Chateau Marmont. You’ll find it tucked away, behind the hotel, on a side street off Sunset. Set across a super cute bungalow and patio, both the food and cocktails here are divine- not to mention the sake pairings and Japanese whiskeys. There are a couple of kaiseki tasting menus (chef’s choice menus) or you can go freestyle and order whatever you wish, at which point we’ll mention the Handmade Tofu is not to be missed. Oh and there are vegan options too, it is LA after all.

FAST FACTS

BEST FOR: A special occasion (and celebrity spotting).
